MacQuillan, George Garas, Oyekoya T. Ayonrinde, Trevor A. Mori, Kevin D. Croft, Xianwa Niu, Gary P. Jeffrey, John K. Olynyk – 18 December 2014 – Iron is implicated in the pathogenesis of liver injury and insulin resistance (IR) and thus phlebotomy has been proposed as a treatment for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Frédéric P. Lemaigre – 12 December 2014 – Slow renewal of the epithelial cells by proliferation ensures homeostasis of the liver, but extensive proliferation may occur upon injury. When proliferation is impaired, transdifferentiation of mature cells or differentiation of stem cells allows production of new hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. While lineage tracings using cyclization recombinase (Cre) recombinase–mediated cell labeling represent the gold standard for defining cell fate, there are more variables than was initially realized.

Jin‐xing Wei, Li‐hong Lv, Yun‐le Wan, Yang Cao, Guo‐lin Li, Hao‐ming Lin, Rui Zhou, Chang‐zhen Shang, Jun Cao, Hai He, Qing‐fang Han, Pei‐qing Liu, Gang Zhou, Jun Min – 12 December 2014 – The deregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) plays an important role in human hepatocarcinogenesis. In this study, we highlight exosomes as mediators involved in modulating miRNA profiles in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. First, we examined the different miRNA expression profiles in HCC cells and HCC cell–derived exosomes.

We investigated the possible role of FIB‐4, a recently developed noninvasive marker for liver fibrosis based on routine laboratory tests, as a clinical indicator for predicting future HCC among hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers.
